- He was returning from shopping trip when he found a scuff and a piece of paper
A Range Rover driver was caught on camera shunting a disabled motorist’s car and leaving a note on his windscreen which he later claimed was a blank piece of paper.
The footage was captured on a dashcam outside a Marks & Spencer store in Slough, Berkshire, earlier this month.
Rehan Siddiqui, who was born without hands and wears artificial legs below the knee, had been on a trip with his friends and family at the time.
The 44-year-old had left his dashcam running in his car while the group went shopping.
In the video, cars manoeuvre past Mr Siddiqui’s car as his blue badge reflects in the windscreen.
A white Range Rover Evoque, that can cost up to £37,000, can then be seen reversing out of a bay directly in front of Mr Siddiqui’s car.

But the driver accidentally clips the left bumper of the parked vehicle as she turns the wheel to head for the exit.

The driver then jumps back in her Range Rover, which is where the video ends.

Mr Siddiqui returned to his car a short time later and said that he discovered the damage to the bumper along with the piece of paper.
Fortunately for Mr Siddiqui the damage amounted to little more than a scuff mark but he claims that the note that was left by the other driver was blank.
He posted a picture of a piece of paper, which appears to match the fragment seen in the video, on social media.
He uploaded it alongside the caption: ‘The lady who hit my car clearly knew plenty of people had seen her hit my car as she got a piece of paper from her car and placed it on my windscreen in the pretense that she was leaving her details… her piece of paper was blank.’
Appealing for information about the woman, he added: ‘Hitting someone’s car, causing damage and then pretending to leave details and leaving is not a nice thing to do.’
It is unclear whether the woman intended to leave a a blank piece of paper but other social media users were quick to comment on the events including Tina Robinson who said: ‘I must get a dashcam.’
Speaking later, Mr Siddiqui said: ‘I felt disgusted that someone could cause damage to someone else’s property and then pretend to do the right thing.

‘I have contacted an accident incident management company who have found the lady’s details and her insurer using the dashcam footage and are dealing with the matter.
‘I feel sorry for those who don’t have a dash cam when there are people like this around who have no conscience.’
Mr Siddiqui has since reported the matter to Thames Valley Police, who have been contacted for comment.
